Most manufacturers and service companies understand the importance of using advertising, public relations, and social media to build and sustain their domestic marketing programs. They understand the importance of the brand equity and the competitive advantage offered by strong brand. What is true domestically is also true internationally. Once the customer is maintained obtained, the relationship must be managed through sound communication, setting expectations, and customer support. Effectiveness in this area requires a significant investment of time and money.

 Analyze the impact of public policy on finance, programs, and organizations

For this project, you will be provided with a policy that has been heavily influenced by recent societal events to determine how it has been influenced by and
influences finance, programs, and organizations. You will take on one of the various roles of the public to analyze this policy and then present your analysis from
the same stakeholder viewpoint. First, read the policy thoroughly. Then address the critical elements and corresponding questions by creating a PowerPoint
presentation from the viewpoint of the role assigned. To determine your assigned role, review the chart below.

I. Reason for Policy: Why is the policy needed? Identify specific reasons and support your findings with evidence.

II. Evaluation of the Policy: What are the positive aspects of the policy? What are the negative aspects of the policy? What aspects are missing from the
policy? Provide examples and evidence that illustrate and support your positions.

III. Recommendations for Developing Policy: What are your recommendations for further developing the policy to enhance its purpose and achieve
outcomes? (Remember to consider the role you are assigned and how that will impact your recommendations.)

IV. Public Roles: Examine how public roles (including the one you are assigned) are affected by or affect the policy using specific examples and evidence:
A. Lobbyist: What is the impact of lobbyists on public policy development?
B. Elite: What role do elites play in public policy development?
C. Program Administrator: What role do program administrators play in regard to policy making?
D. Budgeting/Finance Administrator: What is the relationship between the policy and budgeting? How would this affect someone who manages
the budget?

V. Communication/Point of View: Apply principles of effective communication that maintain the voice, point of view, and considerations of the role you
are assigned throughout the entire presentation.

Distribution: Dunkin’ Case Study
Concept: Distribution
Every company has a value chain that includes primary and support activities utilized to design, produce, market, deliver, and support its products (Marshall & Johnston, 2018, p.317). The delivery portion of the value chain encompasses the supply chain activities. It is essential to understand the supply chain and distribution of goods related to adding value to a company’s product through cost savings.
“A supply chain represents all organizations involved in supplying a firm, the members of its channels of distribution and its end-user consumers and business users” (Marshall & Johnston, 2018, p.317). Maximizing efficiencies throughout the supply chain helps create a competitive advantage for a firm. The marketing managers for the firm must find unique ways to reduce costs and refine processes to achieve this advantage. By becoming part of a value network, a firm can develop value co-creation, where each participant of the network creates value that brings together their individual competencies. If each participant in the organization can focus on their capabilities, it will drive efficiency into the supply chain.
The distribution channel is one piece of the supply chain where value partnerships can create cost reduction. A company must decide on the best distribution channel to utilize in order to get products from the manufacturer to the consumer, whether direct or indirect. In the indirect channel, there are a variety of intermediaries that a company can utilize in the channel, such as; distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. The primary function of channel intermediaries is “physical distribution, or logistics, which is the integrated process of moving input materials to the producer, in-process inventory through the firm, and finished goods out of the firm through the channel of distribution” (Marshall & Johnston, 2018, p.321). The logistics function in the channel can be carried out in various ways. The goal is for the company and its channel intermediaries to move the products in a way that creates the most value.
Application/Example
Dunkin’ donuts and its partnership with National DCP (NDCP) is a perfect example of a value co-creation relationship. NDCP is Dunkin’s franchisee-owned distribution and purchasing cooperative that is Dunkin’s sole intermediary. The NDCP is “responsible for every step of supplying business inputs to Dunkin’ Donuts franchises: sourcing, storing, and shipping raw ingredients to centralized manufacturers” (Matthew, 2014, para.1). Having this singular partnership for the logistics branch of the supply chain allows for Dunkin’ to have inherent efficiencies. All logistics functions are more easily streamlined and integrated utilizing a single source. In addition, to those efficiencies driving cost savings, the franchisee-owned model allows for lower overhead and operations costs (Krikorian, 2014, pg1). Dunkin’ corporate realizes the savings, and that burden is spread out among the franchisee owners, incentivizing effective distribution operations to manage costs.
As stated before, the NDCP delivers the goods to centralized manufacturing facilities. Here all the raw materials sourced by the logistics company come together to create goods to send out to the retailers. The centralized manufacturing model is vital to Dunkin’s success. Having centralized production also lends itself to creating consistent product quality and reducing store-level interruption (Matthew, 2014, pg.1). NDCP manages this process in tandem with Dunkin’ corporate as a team.
Since 2014, the relationship between Dunkin’ and the NDCP has only strengthened. The two firms have grown together and have not found the need to introduce new intermediaries. In 2020, they reached a renewed sole source agreement supporting Dunkin’s future growth. This long-term agreement will provide greater consistency in supply chain and distribution services as well as provide significant future cost-efficiencies for the franchise community (Pierce, 2020, p.1).
Question for Class

Writing Persuasive Essay

Persuasive writing, like informative writing, must integrate unity, support, coherence, and sentence skills to be effective. It is like the other types of writing you have completed in the course, as you make a point and then support the point. However, persuasive writing is a little more difficult, as you must also seek others’ agreement of your point.
These are three common types of persuasive writing:
Opinion Essay – a position is set forth that the writer defends with solid reasons.
Pro/Con Essay – a topic is examined for what’s good and what’s bad about an idea before the writer arrives at an evaluation.
Problem-Solution Essay – a writer tries to convince the reader of a problem and then proposes solution(s) that the reader should also agree.
This module will introduce you further to persuasive writing.

Identification and Analysis of Construction Project Risk and Documentation

1. It is assumed
that you have watched “Horizontal directional drilling machine” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzVgoa5TBKw). Assume that
you are about to construct a gas pipeline using the trenchless method in
Manhattan, NYC. Under the circumstances, identify what kinds of documents or
information you need to secure and review before
the beginning of construction?
Also, discuss why they are needed. Use at
least two references—cite them in the body of the text and list them at the
end.
(250-300 Words)

2. Create a hypothetical situation or event. For instance, you may find a critical design
error or experience an accident on site.
Make sure that the summary of the event
is comprehensive enough. Given the event, you are supposed to document the event
in detail. The document will be distributed
to the relevant parties and people. Below
is a form to be used for documentation. —cite them in the body of the text and
list them at the end.
